The situation at sea is unpredictable, and almost every day new forces are being born and old ones are falling. There is not much time left for Mao Wenlong to show his Ming heroism, and if he continues to stay in Beijing, it will not be half a year. It is very likely that the Dongjiang naval division will be replaced by someone else as the supremacy of the sea.

A few years of hard work can not be wasted like this, while he is still young, he should work hard to consolidate the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty on the sea. The era of the Great Voyage has begun early, and this is a critical moment to change the humiliating history that follows. If he misses this opportunity, Mao Wenlong doesn't know if he has a chance to keep the Ming Dynasty from being abandoned by the wheel of history for the rest of his life.

The construction of the navy has never dared to slack off, and Weihaiwei has set up an academy to develop various equipment and ships under the leadership of Wang Datie. The Ming Dynasty has never lacked inventive talents, what is lacking is only the attention of the court, and some advanced inventions are considered to be obscene and ingenious, and they are not on the table.

But now that Mao Wenlong is here, he will definitely not allow this situation to happen, and with his efforts, Weihaiwei's academy seems to be a place dedicated to collecting these talents.

The affairs of the court should be worried about by those courtiers and the emperor, and Mao Jingwen's marriage Mao Wenlong also intends to hand over to Hong Chengchou, the elder, to have a headache. So after arranging these trivial matters, Mao Wenlong only left a letter to Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and then quietly left Nanjing and rushed to Weihaiwei with those old subordinates who were going to go on an expedition with him.

Mao Wenlong said goodbye without saying goodbye, leaving behind a mess, Hong Chengchou, the person who withdrew from the court, was the most unhappy. Especially in Mao Wenlong's letter, he was even more upset when he saw that Mao Wenlong left Mao Jingwen's marriage to worry about himself. It's a pity that Hong Chengchou couldn't refuse Mao Wenlong's decision.

According to Mao Wenlong, the emperor is his grandson of Hong Chengchou, and it is not considered a relationship between monarchs and ministers, but also a family matter. Yu Qing is courteous, and Hong Chengchou, an elder, should worry about the younger generation.

There is no way, even if Hong Chengchou is reluctant, he wants to find Mao Wenlong's theory but can't find anyone. can only be forced to take on this difficult task.

And Mao Jingwen, the person concerned, was relieved after learning that his father had left, and he was more confident that he was in control of his marriage. As the first person in the Ming Dynasty, the only person he is afraid of at present is Mao Wenlong, and as for the others, he doesn't have to care so much about it.

As soon as Mao Wenlong left, Mao Jingwen was like a bird that escaped from the birdcage, and the sea and sky were open for him to fly. On the same day, after the early dynasty, the emperor took two guards with him, disguised and sneaked out of the palace to meet his old friend.

The threat of the smoke to the Ming Dynasty has gradually eased, and the flow of smoke into the Ming Dynasty has been controlled from the source, which has saved the Ming Dynasty from a great disaster. Mao Wenlong also has this foundation, so he can leave with such a relieved heart.

Weihaiwei, in the past, was just a small remote guard station, with a garrison of more than 200 people, which was not much different from a small village. Now, just a few years later, Weihaiwei has become a large town. The permanent population reached about 100,000, and the garrison also numbered 100,000.

The bustling port is closed to merchants, and it is completely militarized. The 100,000 garrison acted as the protector of the entire northern seas.

Suddenly a horse-drawn carriage came galloping from the quiet dock, and on the large lantern hanging on the wheel, the huge king character showed that the person in the carriage was not small. The Wang family is the largest family in Weihaiwei, whether it is the common people, dignitaries, or the garrison here, they are all very respectful to the Wang family.

The carriage came to a halt on the edge of the wharf, and a fat man laboriously got out of the carriage, and the groom was quick and carefully supported. And the fat man seems to be the first person in Weihaiwei, Wang Datie.

In the past, Wang Datie was short in stature, and his perennial iron-making career made him black and old. Now, he is not only fat, but also much whiter.

Wang Datie shook his hand away the groom who was supporting him, and then put his hand on the awning and looked at the sea, but at this time, there was no sailing ship on the sea. Wang Datie suddenly frowned: "Why can't you see any ships?" ”

The groom cautiously replied: "Master, the general soldiers will not be able to arrive until noon." ”

Wang Datie was stunned for a moment, looked up at the rising sun, and then realized that he had come early. As soon as he heard the news that Mao Wenlong was coming, Wang Datie was so excited that he urged the horseman to gallop over.

There is still more than half a morning before noon, and it is obviously inappropriate to wait here stupidly. But if you want to go back, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until I meet Mao Wenlong. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Datie decided to rest and wait in the carriage.

With the help of the groom, he got back into the carriage, and at last he told the groom to keep an eye on the sea. If you find that Mao Wenlong's ship is coming, you must wake yourself up as soon as possible.

The groom naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after the conclusive assurance, Wang Datie slept in the carriage with peace of mind.

At the same time, in the open sea of Weihaiwei, a huge fortune ship floated tightly on the sea. On the deck at the bow of the ship, Mao Wenlong held a telescope and looked at Weihaiwei in the distance.

More than a dozen old generals who followed followed, all of them accompanied Mao Wenlong, and looked at Weihaiwei, which had undergone earth-shaking changes, with him.

Chen Jisheng put down the binoculars and laughed: "I didn't expect that every time this Weihaiwei came over, he had a refreshing feeling." If this development continues, it is estimated that it will not take a few years, and Weihaiwei will inevitably surpass Guangzhou Fucheng. To become a new city on the northern coast, this Wang Datie really has some ability. ”

Chen Jisheng's words attracted everyone's echo, but Mao Wenlong never expressed any opinions. Weihaiwei is the most important seaside new city of the Ming Dynasty, according to Mao Wenlong's original plan, this Weihaiwei will be the unique naval base of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Although Weihaiwei has developed rapidly, it has evolved from a small health center to a prosperous new city like today in just a few years. Among them, Wang Datie has indeed made great contributions, but he has also become a person who has gained fame and fortune in this new city. Moreover, to this day, Wang Datie has become the first person in Weihaiwei who deserves it.

If it weren't for the fact that Weihaiwei's garrison was not in the hands of Wang Datie, he would definitely not be alive today. The rules of the emperor's family never allow an outsider to control such a force. Wang Datie is definitely a smart person, so he has been living a very nourishing life in Weihaiwei until now.
